Thrasher Elementary is a nationally acclaimed Kindergarten through grade 5 school located in the heart of Signal Mountain. The inside of the school reflects the warmness of the mountain with an indoor pond and park benches. Throughout the school the walls are palettes for learning. Murals around the school continue the theme of the community and/or the curriculum of that grade level. The building reflects the school's child friendly and nurturing culture.

Promethian boards are installed in classrooms (grades 2 - 5). Teachers in all grade levels use technology as a tool to enhance and differentiate instruction; students use computers to publish writings, conduct research, create presentations, and practice academic skills.

Thrasher also boasts a thriving extra-curricular clubs program. Students can choose up to two clubs to attend; with a variety of selections from the Book Club to the Robot Club, there's something for the everyone.

The Signal Mountain Middle/High School opened in August 2008 after an almost 50 year effort by local residents to have a high school on Signal Mountain.  With a current enrollment of approximately 1,300 students in grades 6-12, SMMHS has quickly become one of the most respected schools in Tennessee.  The outstanding faculty is dedicated to helping each individual student reach their full potential.

Signal Mountain Middle/High School is one of the few schools in the state that has been awarded the International Baccalaureate (IB) program.  IB develops the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.  The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with select schools to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners.

Signal Mountain Middle/High School strives to develop socially responsible and engaged scholars who will positively impact their communities, country and world.
